If I could give 10 stars I would
If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!
Really made a difference
Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.
Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.
Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.
An incredibly helpful service
An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!
Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.
Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.
IT WORKS!! Not a scam!
I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

I'm dealing with the same thing - 5 weeks in adjudication with no updates. The uncertainty is killing me. At least if they gave us a timeline or status update it would be more bearable.
Exactly! Even just knowing if my case is being actively reviewed or sitting in a queue would help with the anxiety.
The lack of communication is the worst part. Other states have better systems for tracking claim status.
For anyone still struggling to get through to Washington ESD, I had success with Claimyr last month. They got me connected to someone who could actually see my case details and explain what was happening. Worth checking out if you're desperate for answers.
I'm starting to think that might be my only option. The regular phone system is completely useless.
Same experience here. Claimyr saved me weeks of frustration trying to get through the normal way.

One thing to watch out for - make sure your Oregon address doesn't mess up your direct deposit or debit card delivery. Update everything at the same time.
Good thinking. I'll make sure all my contact info is current before I submit the application.
Yeah, nothing worse than having payment issues because of an address mixup.
The bottom line is don't overthink it. You worked in Washington, you file with Washington ESD. Living in Oregon now doesn't change that basic fact.
No problem! Hope your claim goes smoothly.
And remember, if you need to talk to someone at Washington ESD and can't get through, that Claimyr thing really works. Check out claimyr.com if the phone lines are giving you trouble.

My cousin filed for unemployment and got her first payment in exactly 3 weeks. No issues with her claim though - I think that makes a big difference.
Hopefully mine goes that smoothly too!
Good luck everyone! The unemployment system isn't perfect but it's there to help us get through tough times. Don't be afraid to use it if you need it.
Thank you! I'm feeling much more confident about filing now.
That's great to hear! Remember to file today if possible and don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

Just called at 8 AM sharp and got through in 30 minutes! Thanks for the tips everyone. Having all your info ready definitely helps speed things up once you get connected.
That's great news! I'm going to keep trying the morning calls
Congrats! It's such a relief when you finally get through
This thread convinced me to try Claimyr and it worked perfectly. Got connected to Washington ESD in about 20 minutes and resolved my issue. Worth every penny to avoid the phone hell.
Awesome! I think I'm going to give it a try too. This manual calling isn't working for me
Same experience here. Sometimes you just need to pay for a solution that actually works

I ended up using that Claimyr thing someone mentioned and it actually worked great. Got through to Washington ESD in like 15 minutes instead of spending all day redialing. The agent was able to explain exactly when my payment would hit my account.

You should see your payment by Thursday at the latest if you filed Sunday. Washington ESD is pretty consistent with their processing schedule once you're in the system.
